The worst company for auto insurance

1 out of 5 stars
Had my ATV insured through them. Sold the ATV but didn't bother to call as I figured it would just run out at the end of the term and/or they would contact me to discus. About six months later I recieved a call, text, email and letter from a collections company saying I owed them $75. Had that paid same day. Why didn't TD just call, email, text or mail to save us all the headache. Seems like a shady practice. Beware.
I changed to TD insurance and my family also. Come renewal, no accidents. No claims. No tickets it is a grand higher for 0 reason. Decide to cancel for obvious reasons. Spend an hour on phone to get a quote to cancel. Call back to actually cancel now 3x the cost. They are ridiculous. Getting rid of them no matter the cost. Do NOT get them. Cheap year one, kill you on renewal!!! Beware
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
First, TD debited my bank account for my adult son's new car insurance even after I told TD not to charge my account for his insurance. When I noticed the deductions coming out of my account and I contacted TD, they informed me I needed to fax them, yes fax them a piece of paper with my signature and my son's signature on it to even discuss the matter. After multiple months and conversations, I decided to cancel my insurance with TD and they slapped me with a $250 penalty on my way out the door. As far as I'm concerned, the TD group of companies has no scruples. Beware.
Worst car insurance company ever. Forced me to renew because I purchased a car for my wife. Just needed to transfer coverage but could not do this. Older retired couple here with everything budgeted. Caused huge financial hardship. When I cancelled after years of being a faithful customer they charged me a huge penalty!!! Thanks for nothing.
High cancellation rates. Hour-long wait times. Significantly more expensive. Call center employees are extremely rude.
As a policyholder for a year, I've had nonstop issues with them. Insanely long wait-times aside, I've experienced countless billing issues on their end that I've always had to call in and correct (ie. double billing me 2 months in a row), representatives in their call center who exert almost zero effort to help actually solve the problem at hand, and worse - they make countless mistakes and do not take accountability for any of them. They are supposed to keep notes on your account. The most recent example of their sloppiness is when I called in to point out a billing error that they thankfully fixed during the call. At the end of the call, I inquired about when my policy was renewing, to which the representative replied 'end of the month'. I called in a few days later to cancel my policy after finding out that I have been grossly overpaying after CAA gave me a quote, and the woman on the line states that my policy 'just renewed the previous day' and as a result, I would now be responsible for a $600 cancellation fee. Because the other TD representative was so lazy as to verify my renewal date (and was so lazy that he didn't even make any notes on my account during my call with him). I am now stuck with this awful company for another whole year. I'm almost tempted to pay up the $600 just to be free from their awful service. Word to the wise: save yourself constant headaches + overpayment and avoid TD auto insurance like the plague.
Had to give 1 star because the review does not accept it if you do not put any. I know the value for money should probably be a bit higher but no, it is not a good value as the service for customer service does not exist. I actually have a theory that there is only one person answering all calls and another one doing the online one. Been trying since 08.30 and at 17.30 still did not manage to reach them. Started the day by calling their number, after over an hour I hung up thinking the call must be wrong somehow. Called back and chose the callback option. Get the call back maybe 30-45 min later and waited another 30 min with no answers.... did it again, the same thing, then tried thru the net, while simultaneously calling, 2.5 hours into the call the phone hung up. (after some 1.75 hours somehow got directed to website customer service, which could not do anything but redirect me). Then after roughly 2.75 hours on the site, I had to take care of my daughter because my waiting number just went magically from 2-3 instead of going down so of course in the 5 min someone on the site appears but I am not in front of the computer as like I said I took 5 min to make sure she was alright. So in that less than 5 min, the representative closed my window and because it is past the closing time I can not go back. Oh did I mentioned the website kicks me out before that 2.5 hours because it bugged and totally shut my customer service chat window... So yeah, I am now back on the phone since they are open until 2000, 30 min in, hope the wait won't be so bad this time since I wasted literally a day on this. All this to find out if there are fees in cancelling before the end of the contract with them as there is no way I am wasting time like this again. My consolation is that I actually did not have any emergency that required counselling as I would have been totally on my own... TD, I have seen and heard of bad customer service, but you are on your own level, way up there, or down depending which way you look at it.
Over two hours on hold with them prior to COVID. Since then I had to call them twice to cancel my insurance with them I've spent 7 hours on hold with them in the last week just trying to get my last month's payment out of them. By the way, even if the customer service representative won't cancel your insurance for you when you call they won't give you your last month/deposit back they charge you the exact amount of money to cancel. When you buy your insurance with them they say you going to pay the first and last month's insurance payment but that's not the truth. They actually charged me $260 upfront and my insurance was quoted at $117. I was supposed to get half of that back but they just do what insurance companies are good at the lie and lie some more to take your money and when you have a claim they will do everything in there power not to pay you. Also, they didn't even call me to spike my insurance premium they just took money out of my bank account without my permission!!! Also, they will not communicate with you via email so you have to spend a ton of time on the phone just waiting to talk to a person that really only seems to be interested in taking your money! Because of my experience with this company, I will never even consider using TD bank for anything not even for a mortgage. They have lost a customer for life. There are cheaper better rates out there too. With better companies. I save $40 a month by switching with the same coverage!
I got my policy in Feb and told them I am going to start my college in May, so they told me, for now, it will 290$ per month and once my college starts I need to give a call they will reduce to 222$ per month but they reduced only 6$ per month according to which is now $284 saying they can't reduce now it can be only done while getting the policy. And if I want to change to another company who is giving me less quote they will charge me around $280 penalty. Pathetic. Not at all professional.

This was my first company for auto insurance but in two months i realised that they are the extreme expensive one, they were charging me $654/month, and when i came to know that other companies they are asking me for only $270/month then i decided to cancel with them and they charged me $754 extra for cancellation and did not listen to me, i told them to give me the plan of 270 so i will continue with u but they are so rude and charged me extra 754 for cancelling with them, never ever go to them, just try some other companies then u will know the difference and u will see the real face of TD insurance.
